TJ Gaspers General That abutment is the ORIGINAL route of the NP across the river- it crossed straight across and directly through the U of M Campus at grade... It was relocated to the GN depression later on (I cant remember when, but MTM had a whole article with arial views before and after the relocation of the route...) 9/15/2012 7:25:21 AM
